Walter ZIP XXTREME 4.5-Inch Cut-Off Wheel Type 1

Stop Changing Wheels, Start Cutting

We've all been there: you're in the middle of a long cut on a piece of thick plate or pipe, and your zip wheel disintegrates before you finish. It's frustrating, it kills your rhythm, and it wastes money. Enter the Walter ZIP XXTREME™ 11T044. This isn't just another 4-1/2" cutting wheel; it's a beast designed to stay on your grinder longer than anything else in your toolbox. Walter claims it offers the most cuts per wheel in the industry, and for welders pushing hard to meet deadlines, that means less time walking to the tool crib and more time making sparks.

The 11T044 is a Type 1 flat wheel, perfect for getting deep into cuts with a standard 4-1/2" grinder. At 3/64" thick, it slices through steel and stainless steel like butter, leaving a clean edge that barely needs deburring. But the real magic is in the lifespan. You get the speed of a thin zip wheel with the durability you'd expect from a thicker disc. It holds up against heat and pressure, resisting the urge to glaze over or shatter when you lean into it.

If you are working with stainless steel, you know how important it is to have a wheel that cuts cool to avoid discoloration and warping. The ZIP XXTREME is formulated to cut freely without generating excessive heat, preserving the integrity of your base metal. Whether you are chopping angle iron, slitting pipe, or cutting sheet metal, this wheel gives you the confidence to power through the toughest jobs. Upgrade to the ZIP XXTREME and feel the difference a premium abrasive makes.
